Things your Pets actually HATE!

1. Hugging your dog. According to Cracked.com, dogs actually HATE it when you put your face next to theirs. Supposedly it's a claustrophobia thing, so hugging or kissing them can freak them out.

And if it gets REALLY stressed, or you're not THAT familiar, you might get bitten out of nowhere . . . even by a dog that has never bitten anyone before.

2. Staring into a cat's eyes. People like to do it because cats are so good at staring back. But cats see it as a sign of aggression. They're more affectionate with people who DON'T stare. When you look at a cat, blink slowly so it knows you're not a threat.

3. Feeding them people food. Believe it or not, cats are lactose-intolerant. They're not supposed to drink milk. And dogs should never have bones or raw meat . . . for the same reasons we don't eat them ourselves.

4. Buying pets from a pet store. The ASPCA says 99% of the puppies sold in stores come from puppy mills, where they're usually horribly abused. If you bought your pet from a big place like Petco, you probably rescued it from the worst experience of its life.

---But on the other hand, supporting that store is helping to doom thousands of other animals to the same awful fate.
